Is everything very bad? Ubisoft was suspected of using bots to promote Assassin's Creed Shadows
A new scandal has erupted around the upcoming release of Ubisoft - Assassin's Creed Shadows. Popular streamer Asmongold drew attention to suspicious activity in the comments to the latest game trailer. Most of the positive reviews seem to have been written by bots, which caused a wave of indignation in the gaming community.
Analysis of comments revealed a number of characteristic features indicating their artificial origin: identical name patterns, recent registration of accounts, a suspicious number of characters in messages, lack of malicious links in profiles and almost all accounts have a beautiful girl in their avatar.
The use of bots to boost positive reviews is not the first time in the gaming industry. However, in the case of Assassin's Creed Shadows, this practice causes a particularly negative reaction, given the already mixed reaction of the community to this part of the series.
